two seconds have passed. Repeat
this process up to three times to
complete the programming. The
device becomes operational and
programming is complete. If the
device does not operate, go to the
next step.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate
the “learn” or “smart” button. This can
usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the
motor-head unit.
6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or
“smart” button. (The name and color
of the button may vary by
manufacturer.)
NOTE
Complete the programming within 30
seconds.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press
and hold the Homelink button, and
then release it after two seconds have
passed. Repeat the “ press/hold/
release ” sequence a second time, and,
depending on the brand of the garage
door opener (or other rolling code
equipped device), repeat this sequence
a third time to complete the
programming process.
Press the programmed HomeLink
button and make sure that the
HomeLink System operates.
8. If the status indicator arrows are flashing, refer to Garage Door
Two-Way Communication.

Programming the HomeLink System and
repeat the procedure.
For questions or comments, please contact
HomeLink at www.homelink.com or
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex , or

of the USA, Canada, and Puerto Rico,
international rates will apply and may
differ based on landline or mobile phone).
▼ Gate operator/Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission
―
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are designed
to “time-out” in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or are having
difficulties program ming a gate operator
by using the programming procedures
(regardless of where you live), replace
Step 3 of Programming the HomeLink
System with the following:
NOTE
If programming a garage door opener or
gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device during the “cycling” process to
prevent possible overheating.
While the indicator light is flashing in
amber, press the button on the hand-held
transmitter for 2 seconds and release it

The following types of obstructions may not be detected:
Thin objects such as wire or rope
Things which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snow
Angular shaped objects
Very tall objects, and those which are wide at the top
Small, short objects
Always have the system inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer if any shock is applied
to the bumpers, even in a minor accident. If the sensors are deviated, they cannot detect
